Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

"Even so, I hope you can sit down and talk calmly. Every war causes irreparable harm to the people, and the final outcome may not be what you want."

Vivian took Valentine's hand, and the two strolled into the inner sanctum, ascending the red steps. The Hall of Love displayed many precious artifacts, including spoils of war taken from Valhalla.

“We are calm, and the Temple of Light is calm too. When the Temple of War disappeared, this war was already inevitable. As for the outcome, no one can predict it. We are all just insignificant grains of sand in this chaotic storm.”

Valentine forced a smile, his gaze lingering on the bodyguard-like black knight for a moment, then he teased, "You two... again?"

"It was just a coincidence that I ran into her."

Vivian's expression turned serious and solemn, her eyes fixed straight ahead. But in reality, it was a different story. The inner drama of the Libra Star Envoy was no less exciting than the war between the two great faith kingdoms, and it seemed even more adorable in the eyes of the beautiful young goddess king.

"Oh, I understand?"

Valentine curled his lip, clearly disbelieving, and said in a deliberately flattering voice, "Since it's a good time, I also have a couple of things I'd like to say to him alone later."

"what's up?"

Vivian raised an eyebrow, and as expected, she couldn't hide her feelings. The entire Free Federation knew that no living being could resist the charm of a beloved divine messenger, men and women alike.

This concept is physical in nature and has nothing to do with pure love. It is purely an obsession of physical intimacy. It can always awaken the most primal desires deep in people's hearts. Unfortunately, very few lucky people can be invited to a private rendezvous by their beloved god.

"secret!"

Valentine licked her alluring red lips, and before Vivian could ask any further questions, a rough voice boomed in their ears like rolling thunder.

"Baby! Where did you go? Why did you leave me all alone?"

A giant man, standing three meters tall, burst out of the archway opposite the hall, smashing through the wall without a care in the world. Even in someone else's divine domain, he didn't consider himself an outsider. The man's body radiated a bronze metallic sheen, and the clear lightning marks on his muscular chest testified to his status as a resident of the Thunder Hunting Grounds.

Invincible and Vivian exchanged a glance, both sensing something unusual. The Thunder Hunter's soul fluctuations were extremely terrifying. Although both were at the transcendent realm, this Nash giant's aura was much stronger than that of Qualu. Once the mark was activated, he could very likely advance to the demigod realm.

More importantly, does the appearance of a Thunder Hunter here mean that the Temple of Love and Wisdom has already won over the Thunder Hunting Grounds to stand on the same side? What are the attitudes of the other faith kingdoms that are watching from the sidelines, apart from the Throne of Chaos?

"Of course not, Lord Uso. It's just that the temple has welcomed two more distinguished guests, and I can't be negligent. It seems we have gained two more companions on this trip."

A sinister glint flashed in Valentine's eyes before he gritted his teeth and went to greet her warmly.

With just this small gesture, Vivian and Invincible could tell that their beloved divine messenger was very reluctant to deal with this greasy giant, but had to make a sacrifice in order to win over allies.

Snapped!

Giant Uso slapped Valentine's plump buttocks, his burning lust in his eyes undisguised, as if declaring his dominance. Valentine bristled slightly, suppressing his anger as he dodged the groping hand that reached for his waist.

"Ugh, we're talking about serious business here. Please allow me to introduce these two guests to you, from the Throne of Chaos..."

Uso glanced at the "short" black knight and interrupted with a wicked grin: "Invincible, huh? I know. A woman should act like a woman. Even if you wear armor and pretend to be strong, you're still a little thing in the eyes of the Great Lord. I still prefer to call you Witch. If you have the chance, please take off that piece of junk and let me see your most primal beauty! And Miss Vivian, I don't even know when you woke up. The Free Federation is so weak that it's such a waste to let such a beautiful woman suffer on the front lines! If you ever want to quit, Thunder Hunting Grounds is always open to you. You just need to serve me, hahahahaha!"

That day will never come.

Vivian remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she cursed the entire family of this rude man. This fellow was even more detestable than Qualu, and his level of irritability was equally high; arrogance was an understatement.

Despite the Black Knight's offense, he remained silent, only glancing at Valentine as if he had already seen through her little scheme. Valentine was also looking at Invincible with a hint of expectation in her eyes. The moment their eyes met, the beloved messenger mischievously looked away, seemingly plotting something, but certainly not with good intentions.

Vivian ignored Uso and pondered, "You just mentioned companions, where are you planning to go?"

Valentine smiled and said, "Of course it's the Plane Battlefield. Lord Uso brought a nice gift to the Temple of Light, but I don't know if they are prepared for it. Since you're here, let's go take a look together. Don't worry, I know the Lightbringer is also your friend, and he will never make things difficult for you, because we don't need to take action at all."

Vivian's intuition told her this wasn't a good idea, but she also wanted to see where Valentine's confidence came from. As far as she knew, the Temple of Love had just lost an elite force on the High Plane Expedition, and even the Beloved Messenger had been left behind on the Ark forever.

"Hmph, it takes this long to deal with a tiny place like the Chaotic Throne of the Splendid Valley and the Free Federation. We Thunder Hunters are more than enough for this war!"

Uso patted his chest and was about to hug the fox beauty when Valentine giggled and dodged him. The two of them made quite a commotion as they moved through the temple. It goes without saying how the Temple of Love and Wisdom obtained the support of the Thunder Hunting Grounds.

Vivian's mood wasn't so good. Since she couldn't stop the war, she could only take it one step at a time. The most crucial issue was still the rising Chaos Throne.

"The emergence of the Throne of Chaos has disrupted the delicate relationship between the kingdoms of faith."

The five major faith kingdoms occupy most of the resource planes in the southwestern part of the star map. The primary and secondary planes that were previously dominated by the Temple of War have now been completely taken over by the Temple of Love and Wisdom. The originally peaceful balance between the three parties is gradually tilting. The Temple of Light cannot stand by and watch the Temple of Love and Wisdom become the only dominant force, and war is only a matter of time.

865. No need to hide it

"Don't look at me like that, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."

Invincible shrugged. This deal was very worthwhile. Chaotic temples were being built all over the territory of the Temple of Love and Wisdom, and the power of faith was endless. Moreover, she didn't need to spend any energy governing them.

In other words, the little Nolan from back then has grown up without anyone noticing. Her heart is no smaller than Asteria's immortal divine body, and her witch idols are all over the world.

Vivian rolled her eyes at someone and said, "The Envoy of Universal Love is very clever. Rather than letting the enemy plot in secret, it is better to start a war first and seize a more advantageous battlefield. The absurd scenes of the Chaotic Throne and the Temple of War will not occur. Without the restrictions of the gods' prohibitions, even a figure like the Venerable Qilin will not be able to exert unilateral suppression."

Indeed, ancient prisoners like Perish and Batian were originally considered among the few special beings who were above mortals, which is why they were able to so easily wipe out the Temple of War. But now things are different, and the mortal world has returned to the chaotic era before the war of the gods.

"He is no longer the Qilin Venerable, but his successor may appear soon, or Zhang Tiange may be reborn first. Who knows?"

Invincible muttered to himself, but his thoughts were on Lin, who was also in a predicament. Her being chosen as the Lightbringer was the worst news. Such a pure heart would completely collapse once it was driven to the brink of faith. And the Holy Mother of Light was not as merciful as described in the divine scriptures. In some ways, she was more dangerous than the Seven Luminaries Goddess.

Upon breaking away from the alliance, the Temple of Light and the Temple of Love and Wisdom went to war. The territories at the border between the Temple of War and the Temple of Light became a battleground, and the lords of the divine kingdoms went to the war zone to fight.

As the commander of the attacking force, the Beloved Divine Envoy's destination was the Holy Radiance Continent within the territory of the Temple of Light. It was the first prime plane that had to be passed through to enter the Kingdom of Light. With the temple fully assembled and the march imminent, Valentine changed into a dashing magical outfit and led Vivian onto a sawtooth chariot. The chariot was pulled by four elemental serpents, soaring through the sky and opening a wormhole in the war zone.

The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, and the path of the legion was strewn with flowers. The heroic warriors fought for love and beauty, fierce yet not domineering. Rather than going to war, they seemed to be welcoming a bride to a wedding. The Temple of Love and Wisdom has always been extravagant.

The serrated chariot could not contain Uso's massive body. Valentine teased him while apologizing, and softly summoned another chariot to lead the other two distinguished guests. The Black Knight directly rejected Valentine's subtle invitation, his body gradually fading into the void, treating space as nothing, giving the cunning orc no chance to provoke him.

Unable to continue pursuing his beloved goddess, Uso was quite displeased. In his fantasy, having two women on either side was the most beautiful scene. After all, the Libra Star Envoy and the Chaos Witch were both rare beauties. It was just a pity that Invincible also preferred women. Perhaps he could find an opportunity to tell her a truth in person: no matter how powerful a woman is, she must eventually submit to a man!

Everyone could see that Uso was plotting something sinister, but this also gave Valentine an opportunity to take advantage of the Thunder Hunting Grounds. They worshipped nature, had no advanced civilization or order, and were primitive and brutal. Although they were troublesome, they were not considered formidable enemies by other faith kingdoms. However, this still did not give the Temple of Love and Wisdom absolute confidence to defeat the Temple of Light.

The Crimson Legion followed the chariots through the wormhole. Inside the spatial tunnel was a spiral world of folded images, distorting countless faults between the two worlds. Through the spatial barrier, the black hole eye deep in the turbulent currents could be faintly seen, with the Black Knight following closely behind.

"Does the Temple of Fate also stand by your side?"

Vivian probed softly, still not giving up on military mediation, wanting to get more information from Valentine, but she just smiled and didn't respond.

Faith is the cornerstone of a divine kingdom, the source of its cohesion, and the secret to the apostles' power. Divine authority is supreme, which makes the existence of a divine kingdom different from that of other forces. Neither the Free Federation nor Sky Island would be willing to intervene in a war of faith, which is a war between divine kingdoms.

The Throne of Chaos replaced the Temple of War, but the witch's stance is as ambiguous as her god. Perhaps the ultimate goal of those madmen is to plunge the world into a vortex of destruction, and nothing else matters. They are not as simple-minded as Uso, who can be easily seduced and won over.

Of the remaining faith kingdoms, only the Temple of Love and Wisdom and the Temple of Light are qualified to enter the New World. Whoever can devour the other can become a behemoth like the Obsidian Empire.

In contrast, the Temple of Fate appears extremely weak and easily overlooked, but there is no useless truth in this world, and Vivian always maintains a sense of awe for the unknown and mysterious fate.

The dazzling light at the end of the space tunnel urged the legion to advance. At this moment, Valentine suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"I regret that you made a wasted trip, but perhaps you can persuade the Lightbringer and the Judgement Messenger that the Holy Mother of Light cannot protect them, so this time the fate is in our hands, and the Father God can no longer favor his loyal Valkyrie!"

Vivian's heart raced, as if she understood something. Nolan, far away in the Land of Boundless, also opened his eyes with a strange look. In an instant, he understood that the God of Love had chosen to embrace the Night Mother, and there might be more gods who were dissatisfied with the Heavenly Father supporting him. They no longer wanted to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

"I see."

The Black Knight muttered to himself, his figure slowly coalescing, and together with the Serpent Chariot, they passed through the wormhole and arrived at a jungle encampment.

This makes sense. The Heavenly Father could sacrifice any creation for the blueprint of evolution, and the God-Hunter Clan had been secretly collecting the truth. The constant threat not only terrified the apostles but also terrified the people of the gods. And the goddess of fortune, Catherine Tiffany, was not the first to realize this. No god was willing to give up their power.

The Temple of War angered the Chaos God King and was destroyed for no reason. Lei Ruiyi and Ye Liliu deserve some credit for this. Today, the Heavenly Father's only loyal followers in the mortal world are the Holy Mother of Light and the Archangel. Their influence is getting weaker and weaker, and the gods no longer need to hide their rebellious hearts.

Aside from Skyfall Island, only the Sanctuary Domain possesses such a rich concentration of light elements. The Holy Radiance War Zone has long been established here, with hundreds of thousands of Cupid soldiers incorporated into the million-strong Legion Formation. Tens of millions of formations are stationed in camps across the mountains and plains, facing off against the distant, shimmering Tower of Light. Looking out, the outer plains of the city-state protected by the light barrier have been reduced to scorched earth. Several minor skirmishes have occurred between the two sides previously.

The arrival of the Libra Star Envoy and the Beloved God Envoy greatly excited the soldiers in the war zone. Many lords came to greet them, including many former graduates of the Star Alliance School, which shows Vivian's high status in the Star Sanctuary. She had to respond to her former allies with a wry smile, revealing her identity as a mediator. The arrogant Thunder Hunter Uso was left out in the cold, feeling somewhat depressed.

866. The Battle Begins at Dusk

Valentine finally seized the opportunity, and quietly approached Wudi, enveloped in a fragrant breeze, and said with a soft smile, "It is truly a pleasure to see Your Majesty again. Lady Yeli Liu asked me to give you my regards."

Invincible sneered, "Ha, does she only know how to send messages through intermediaries? She wasn't this timid when we met last time."

The last time the two creators met was probably a thousand years ago, when the Night Mother was utterly defeated, but now she has made a comeback and finally broken ties with the Father.

The beloved messenger humbly said, “Who can not fear the great Destroyer of All Realms and her messenger? Until that day comes, she thinks it is best for you not to meet.”

The black knight kept sneering, conveying the witch's growing displeasure, which would eventually come to an end.

"Ms. Ye Lili is right, you have appeared again, but not to lend a hand. When will I be able to enjoy your favor like Lady Vivian?"

Valentine sighed wistfully, her voice soft and melancholic, willing to become the witch's captive, both in body and soul.

"Simple, betray Cupid, strip naked and let me brand you on the chest, then you'll be mine."

Valentine's face flushed slightly, her fox ears twitched, and her majestic breasts beneath her armor trembled. "I almost believed it. Vivian is also loyal to the Stars, isn't she? This isn't fair."

Invincible lifted Valentine's pretty face, and just as the beloved divine messenger's gaze was dazed, he pinched her pretty face and turned her towards the Tower of Light, saying, "Don't underestimate the Holy Mother of Light. Anuba is a coward, he doesn't even dare to look at me. But she is different. I think she is more suitable to inherit the name of the God of War."

"what do you mean?"

Valentine's expression turned serious, and she became wary. She was confident of victory and unafraid of the challenge, but the Father's wrath had also reached its breaking point, and the High Court would not give up easily.

"The Heavenly Father and the Night Mother are both annoying, but I can't be bothered with them as long as they don't cross me. They are the winners of the last game, and this is a privilege they enjoy. You are different; you are just pawns that can be discarded at will. So I'm giving you a chance to choose again, so don't waste it..."

After saying that, Wudi tore open the spatial barrier and stepped into the void, disappearing without a trace. The witch's meaningful words, however, made her beloved divine messenger fall into deep thought.

The Holy Temple's army is in the midst of the daytime, where the element of light is abundant and powerful. Unfortunately, they do not have enough troops left for the Holy Radiance Continent to launch a counterattack. At this moment, the reinforcements from the Temple of Love and Wisdom have arrived with overwhelming momentum. The next attack will no longer be a test. This night is destined to be very difficult for the Holy Temple.

The commander on the Tower of Light is not the Arbiter, known for his strength, but the Lightbringer, because her task is only defense. The God of Compassion and the God of Arbitration are battling it out on another battlefield.

Where the tower's radiance could not reach, the distant forest was serene. Even though Lin had no experience in leading troops, she could guess what the other side was waiting for. The sun on the Holy Radiance Continent would eventually set, and dusk would be the time for war. At that time, the people of the Holy Temple would lose the protection of the Holy Mother.

An unusual spatial fluctuation just came from the north. More legion formations joined the war zone through wormholes, including several exceptionally terrifying fluctuations. It seems that more than just the Beloved Divine Messenger came.

Thinking back to their last meeting on the Ark when they were allies, and how they had become deadliest enemies in less than half a year, Lin frowned. Her holy aura was gentle and loving, and there was not a trace of aggression in her. After experiencing the tragedy of the dragon tide, she was even more weary of fighting, but her duty did not allow her to back down.

The messenger of light clasped her hands tightly and prayed softly to the statue of the Virgin Mary in the city, mourning the souls of the fallen. After a while, her furrowed brow gradually relaxed.

"Please forgive me for not having time to entertain guests, Chaos Knight of the End. Perhaps you have come at the wrong time."

This was the first time Lin had used such a distant and auspicious name to refer to Invincible. Her injuries exuded a transcendent aura. Although she had not yet advanced to demigod status, she was not far off. After the gods' prohibition was broken, the divine messenger became the medium connecting the Supreme Divine Court and the mortal world, enjoying a portion of the faith power of the Holy Mother of Light.

"Not welcome?"

The Black Knight sat on the fence, gazing at Lin's graceful back. He didn't know what had appeared or how long he had been watching.

"That depends on who you're traveling with and what your purpose is."

Lin turned around gracefully, her gaze indifferent, which made Wudi scratch the back of his head.

"If your intention is to seize the Tower of Light from me to curry favor with your beloved divine messenger, then please act quickly. I will not resist; I am aware of that much. But please do not harm my people."

"No."

The incredibly brief reply did not improve Lin's expression. She nodded and said, "So you're here to watch the show. I'm sorry, I don't have time to waste with you."

Invincible laughed, "That's going too far. Why can't I be here to help?"
